[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 743059, member: 23103"] I have different relationships with different friends and different relationships with my kids. My daughter is my friend and doll baby but still needs direction at time and listens. My oldest son is physically handicapped and I am his care giver but I am also his sounding board and his companion as well as his social scheduler. My youngest son--the difficult child, I recently told him I am no longer going to just treat him as my kid but as an adult and when he needs something from me he is going to have to spell it out and ask. I am no longer going to interpret what he needs and then be told I was wrong and helped when he didn't need help. He can ask for help and I will tell him if I am willing to give it and what my terms for the help. No emotional terms, only financial since the help is financial. So far he has made good and paid me back what he borrowed. [/QUOTE]
